Meh. Didn't thrill me. A little too much gratuitous violence for my taste.

I had high hopes for this recent novel by the author of a series - "The Last Policeman" - which I read through twice. See my review in this app for why I decided to re-read that series now. "Last Policeman" was all about the time left until the catastrophic end of the earth. As the title of this novel alludes to, here the idea is that time is a commodity that can be removed from one person and given to another. While I'm a fan of far-fetched main ideas of novels and I'm okay with concepts which aren't fully explained, this story had way too many aspects for my liking that just didn't make sense. Add characters who felt one dimensional, a cartoonish villian, plus a flat, predictable plot and you end with a disappointing outing from an author who has done better and hopefully will again soon - be back at the top of his creative game.
